While on CBS Sports’ show Reiter’s Block, Davis said he found out about the Cousins news as he was watching TV. The Pelicans star said he was “a little shocked,” but that he understands Cousins had to do what was best for him. Then, Davis added a friendly challenge by saying, “Now he has to guard me instead of us playing with each other.”

“I found out through my TV, actually. It happened, and I was watching on my TV and I just saw it pop up.

“Of course I was a little shocked, but I know DeMarcus. He made the best decision for him and his career at that time, and for his family. Honestly, it’s a business. Of course I would’ve definitely loved for it to keep going, but at that point, I’m not sure what was going on with his situation or what was going through his head. It’s a lot coming from being traded and feeling like you deserve a max contract, then you rupture your achilles. It was a tough situation. It was tough on him. I think he made his best decision for him and his family. Happy for him. But we’ll be seeing him down the road. Now he just has to guard me instead of us playing with each other.”

However, just because Davis found out about Cousins’ decision on TV doesn’t mean that the Pelicans didn’t consult him, according to what he said on ESPN’s show The Jump.

When Brian Windhorst asked if the Pelicans checked with him about what they were going to do with Boogie, Davis said:

“They did. There’s a lot of different stories out there, but for me, there’s nothing we can do about it now. I just move forward and try to worry about the team that we have now. You can’t dwell on whether they should’ve came back or Rondo, whoever it is. You’ve just got to move forward with the team I have now and try to find a way to make the playoffs as well and make some noise. Of course it was tough, but at the same time, I’m past it. Like I said, there’s nothing we can do about it. The team kept me in the loop. Whatever happened on their end happened on both sides. And now we’re here. So, like I said, we just have to move forward and try to figure out how we can be successful with the team we’ve got now.”
